During a Canadian military funeral flag presentation, the officiating officer typically states, "On behalf of a grateful nation, I present this flag to you in recognition of your loved one's service to Canada." This solemn moment honors the deceased's dedication and sacrifice, symbolizing respect and gratitude from the country. The flag is presented to the next of kin, signifying their loved one's commitment to safeguarding Canadian values and freedom.

Are 3 spent shells placed inside fold of flag for honor vallor courage?

The correct answer is 'yes', but due to many military funerals and availability of the Honor Guard it may be overlooked at the presentation of the folded flag at the Veterans Funeral. In most cases it is the responsibility of the NCOIC to select 3 spent casings from the 3 volley's of fire at a Veteran's Funeral called Presentation of Honor of the Veteran, and he is responsible for overseeing on the left side of the folding of the flag remaining over the Veterans coffin or remains. The last fold is from the flap of the flag and then the 3 spent shell casings are placed into the last fold of the flag and the 1.25 inch part that is usually closest to the NCO that is where he puts the casings and seals the flag for the Chaplin to present the flag and share his blessings on the Family at the loss of their relative/friend or Loveone.
